Common questions

Is searching for unclaimed money really free?

Yes. Every state runs its own official database and searching it is always free. You never pay to search or to claim. Anyone who asks for a fee to "recover" your money for you is charging for something you can do yourself in a few minutes.

How much could I actually be owed?

It varies, but the national average claim is around $2,000, and about 1 in 7 Americans has something waiting. Most balances are small forgotten amounts, but inheritances, old security deposits, and uncashed checks can add up.

How long does a claim take?

Most states process claims in 30 to 90 days once you submit proof of identity. There is no deadline to claim, so the money does not expire while it sits in the state's database.

What is the difference between this and a class action settlement?

Unclaimed money is cash a state is already holding in your name. A class action settlement is money a company owes for a specific issue you were part of. Both are money you may be owed. See open settlements you can file with no proof →
